In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

French Flea Market and Blogger Friends

Yesterday, I went to Hortons of Tipton to the French Flea Market. As I was walking through the crowd, finding my way to the bathroom, I heard someone say, "Cindy"



It was Nicki from the Vintage Farmhouse (see side bar)


Poor thing was tired! We had a nice long chat as she waited on customers. Then the Granny Bee (see side bar!) walks up and says Hi. She's shopping with our friend Kathy.



Then I look over from Nicki's booth and see the Damask Design girls.



So we chatted a bit.



We gotta come up with a name for that bust...the one above...on the table. The man in the necktie.



Not this one!


Then I ventured outside.....Oh my goodness...It was just killing Nicki that she couldn't be outside shopping! No wonder...

Rebecca Ersfield (see side bar) and I were having a chat when...what the?....is that one of those Damask Design ladies outside shopping? Tis indeed. Come on out Nicki!


Then Reality Jane showed up...and we shopped...then ate lunch....then shopped some more.
It was a beautiful day to meet up with blogger buddies.
I want this couch. They covered it by sewing a bunch of sheets together. I love the feel of sheets. Remember when I made pajama bottoms out of sheets for menopausal women!







I do think that couch and I could take lovely naps together.



I only bought one thing at the market. Not because I didn't want to, but because we are moving and I have a lot of 'stuff'. I need to figure out what will work in my house and what won't. I will take a pic and show you the trunk I bought for our new house. It's actually at the new house, and I am not.



My friend, Teresa, and I stopped at some garage sales, of course, and look at the purses I got.



A Fossil, for one dollar. Minus the 26 cents in the pocket when I cleaned it out! Ladies, if you sell purses at garage sales, be sure to check the pockets.



Then, "fill a bag for $1.00." "Really? Even these purses?" "Yup even these purses." I am a purse-aholic. I used to feel bad about it, until I met other people who are also purse-aholics.



And seriously, when you buy TWO COACH purses for $1.00...



what's the big deal?






But the first coach purse I bought is the one I like the best. It's in the best shape



for only $20.00!






Everyone have fun at Horton's today. I'll be slaving away hanging insulation in our ceiling at the new house.

French Flea Market

Ok blog friends....first and foremost....thank you for being so kind with your thoughts and prayers from that last post. I met The Granny Bee for coffee today and the first thing she said was, "First thing...I want to know how your Dad is doing."

He is doing pretty good. Thank you. I'm sure this will affect him, it has affected us all. You just never know. I found out the lady that was killed was only 23 years old. She had her dog in the car and they had called the humane society to come and get it. So when I got home last night, I called my friend who is on the board at the humane society and asked her to please get the scoop for me. She made a phone call and found out the lady's boyfriend came and picked up the dog at the humane society, and the dog was happy to see him, and he happy to see the dog.

Now, I want to change the subject to something totally different and much happier.
